Geldof hands back award in Aung San Suu Kyi protest

Bob Geldof on Monday returned his Freedom of the City of Dublin award in protest over his fellow recipient, Aung San Suu Kyi’s response to the repression of Rohingya Muslims. The activist and pop star said he would be a hypocrite to share honours with the Nobel peace prize winner for her silence over military operations that have driven out 600,000 Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar.
